How can I build up the number of days I run per week?

I am relatively new into running and was wondering how can and should I build up the number of days I run per week?

    A good balance between training and taking rest is important while building up the number of days one runs per week. A schedule like this is what I would recommend.

    Monday: Rest

    Tuesday: 3 miles at an easy pace (5/10 effort)

    Wednesday: Rest

    Thursday: 2 miles at easy pace, then 4 x 60 seconds fast, with 2mins between reps, then 2 miles at easy pace.

    Friday: Rest

    Saturday: 5 miles easy pace. Walk some sections if you like.

    Sunday: Rest
